Produktbeschreibung

While Marcus is a talented basketball player and the team's leading scorer as a junior, three-pointers and flashy ball-handling skills can't compensate for the out-of-control emotions and tantrums that erupt whenever he faces pressure. That's why the guidance he receives from a series of mentors-lessons that help Marcus learn to serve others before himself-become a gift that revolutionizes his life. The Gift is a leadership fable that uses the narrative of a young man whose primary problem is rooted in the absence of his father. This reality leaves a gaping hole in his heart and sparks the anger and frustration that threaten to derail his athletic career. Although this story is all too common in daily life, the people who help guide Marcus back onto the right path also demonstrate the incredible value of a listening ear, wise instruction, and caring role models, who can counteract the world's negative influences. Based on the real-life experiences of author Brian Catanella, this novella teaches about the importance of faith and giving in a world that puts a premium on trophies and self-glory. Its realistic, fast-paced action, and heart-touching encounters will help readers to appreciate the treasures of service and mentoring to a life well-lived.
